Abstract
The disclosure herein describes a chat system for intelligent automatic switching between multiple chat windows. During operation, the system monitors activities occurring within the multiple chat windows and determines whether a window-switching operation is needed based on the monitored activities. In response to determining that the window-switching operation is needed, the system automatically performs the window-switching operation without the need for a user of the chat application to perform the window-switching operation manually.
Claims24
A computer-implemented method for intelligent automatic switching between multiple chat windows in an online chat application, comprising:
- monitoring, by a computer, activities occurring within the multiple chat windows;
- determining whether a window-switching operation is needed based on the monitored activities;
- and
- in response to determining that the window-switching operation is needed, automatically performing the window-switching operation without the need for a user of the chat application to perform the window-switching operation manually.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for intelligent automatic switching between multiple chat windows in an online chat application, the method comprising:
- monitoring activities occurring within the multiple chat windows;
- determining whether a window-switching operation is needed based on the monitored activities;
- and
- in response to determining that the window-switching operation is needed, automatically performing the window-switching operation without the need for a user of the chat application to perform the window-switching operation manually.
A computer system for intelligent automatic switching between multiple chat windows in an online chat application, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor;
- a monitoring module configured to monitor activities occurring within the multiple chat windows;
- a determination module configured to determine whether a window-switching operation is needed based on the monitored activities;
- and
- a window-switching module configured to, in response to the determination module determining that the window-switching operation is needed, automatically perform the window-switching operation without the need for a user of the chat application to perform the window-switching operation manually.
